It was supposed to be an easy tootle
I had a 1 hour E1 ride to do today, planned to be a tootle just to turn the legs over ...
Tomorrow's an intense day. Weights and velodrome sprint efforts, so today was an easy E1 cruise for an hour just to tick over the legs and burn off last night's pizza. That was the plan anyway ... I took off from aboc HQ with the idea of having a look at the Eastlink path, seeing how it went from the Mitcham Rd crossing and on. I got on at the bridge over Eastline at Mitcham Rd, and found that it was closed off firmly at Park St, so followed a fit climber-type along the Mullum Mullum creek road. That sucker is hilly! So much for E1/easy cruising, it was roll down, granny gear grovel up, repeat! Once I got onto the path again, it was nice, not very practical for training or commuting as it's full of sharp bends and has poor sight lines, but a pleasant amble to Ringwood, then down to Canterbury Rd, jump the fence and then to Burwood Hwy before coming back home along the road. All up I got my hour and my HR average was at the top of E1, but that hides the frequent E3 and above efforts. Hrm....
